I tended bar in a backwoods tavern in a tourist are for a few years.
In my experience, the most reliable tippers are locals.
The best tippers, at least where I worked, were tourist snowmobilers.
The worst tippers were groups of women and tree huggers.
People who drank and ordered food were better tippers than just drinkers.
More than once I have had people leave me a joint as a tip.
One man who owned a food distributorship of some sort downstate once one left me two racks of Lamb as a tip.
In general, people who have worked for tips at some point in their lives are the most generous.
I don't know about all states but many allow owners to pay waitstaff far below Federal minimum wage because they get tips. A travesty of justice if ever there was.
Cool fabrication, tell us more
